Curic fromCAD (Beta)

Curic fromCAD for SketchUp

Curic fromCAD is a SketchUp plugin developed to help import and control 2D CAD files.

It organizes your DWG/DXF drawings and prepares them for the next step: building 3D models from CAD with upcoming Curic tools.

Common problems with CAD imports:

• Too many layers, blocks, and extra “trash” data - normally there’s no way to see or manage them, because everything is merged into the SketchUp model, making it impossible to clean up or remove later

• Imported drawings do not provide tools to control or toggle layers and colors, even though these are the main ways 2D CAD geometry is managed in CAD software

• Overlapping lines are automatically cut and merged by SketchUp, breaking the original 2D geometry and overwriting layer information

• Components with messy axes due to poorly set CAD blocks

What fromCAD does:

• Group and organize geometry by layers and folders

• Provide a flexible way to extract and manage 2D CAD data

• Clean up blocks, texts, and align drawings to the origin

• Control curve detail for smoother results

This is the beta version, and it will continue to improve as part of Curic’s workflow from 2D CAD to 3D models.
